Just saw a KZbin ad and they said learning guitar from KZbin videos doesn't work. Total BS - we have Sean! Bonus, he's hilarious. And man is he on fire. Thank you for making my day, Sean.

[@worshipliveministries]

Thanks for your amazing work!

[@AllGrowing]

Love all your videos, I learn something real every time! Keep up your dry humor!

[@brianrowland55]

Another stellar lesson! Thanks!

[@charlesbryant870]

One of my favorite lessons so far!

[@danthsmith]

excellent, from an intermediate type of player. I knew this stuff but it made me revisit it as its a great base for improv. Thanks

[@alanjohnston2743]

This is a great lesson .Thankyou 😊

[@thehillybillycat1]

Great lesson, Sean🤟🤟

[@paulpalmer6151]

Love this Sean opened up a totally new experience for me thank you

[@maxjosephson8352]

great lesson Sean thank you

[@JL-fs9wh]

Definitely love your sense of humor!!

[@webocoli]

Thanks Sean, that was a real tonic for my play!

[@nathanmarineau3993]

between this and all the jazz chords I've been learning, my playing is really growing! Thank you.

[@vincestefanac5844]

Awesome, just what I needed 👍

[@jonquilfindlay728]

Pure dead brilliant Sean

[@mikewice3608]

You just blew my mind. Thank you.

[@tennysonjames2969]

awesome lesson my man

[@jcburger733]

Thanks for sharing the secret sauce of great guitar playing. As always, appreciated!!

[@dawk42]

This is the video I needed today. Keep on playing!

[@seandaniel23]

Thanks so much!

[@RockOn78]

This video was legit. Oy, special shout out to that cycling between those 2 F voicings in the chord progression. Stealing that. So perfect for a chorus, coming out of a hot 2nd verse, or tag.

[@1SUNGODELBASIR]

Awesome information.

[@craigwomack8172]

You're not just some goofy guy with lots of time on his hands. Your knowledge shines through. Love those quasi jazz chords. So simple even with the Am11 gravy. Do more!!!

[@anthonyward8587]

Love your sense of humour, terrific chord shapes.😎

[@metalfuryskulls]

The advert that popped up for me halfway though this was "learn 100 songs on the piano with just these 4 chords" 😂

[@seandaniel23]

I've seen that one too!

[@jerrigrindle5254]

I’m having a hard time keeping up! You keep posting such great stuff and I learn so much from every video- but I can’t fully digest one before you drop the next one!

[@leekalerzcallaghan9654]

There are two options: Sean posts less, or you play the videos at half speed.😀

[@printz0071]

Good videos..great teaching .

[@richmorelli5950]

Great video!

[@seano2176]

Great lesson again Sean and perfectly connects with the previous lesson. What I'd love to see next is more practical advice on how to move into the lead picking. You make it look so easy but after years of practice I still struggle with this. Can you elaborate on your technique...zoom in, slow it down and show us how to hit those notes with a pick and maintain perfect timing. 🙏

[@daveharrison3655]

Thanks!

[@nickworley1000]

You always seem to make great inspirational lessons Sean love this one thanks sir

[@seandaniel23]

I'll keep em coming!

[@RobertRookeMusic]

Love it!

[@grantmontana763]

Excellent

[@samrafferty0803]

Agree the Patreon is amazing, you definitely should plug it more

[@Longstride]

@Sean I’ve been watching your videos for over a year, and loving them, and only on this video did I learn you have a Patreon with more lessons 🤣 going there now my friend! Thanks for all the info and keep it coming. You’re one of my fave ‘Tubers!

[@seandaniel23]

My guy! Thanks so much for the kind words and thanks for considering joining the Patreon!

[@ud9hh]

Spice is the spice of life, think you got me onto your patreon with that

[@Ncpinetree]

it's super smart for you to include tabs of songs you play for gigs to make your patreon sound more like an investment than a class

[@georgemajor9589]

4 o’clock in the morning here in Germany, and I’m watching this 🤦‍♂️ call me a Sean Daniel junkie if you want, I don’t care…so there… thanks for this Sean another inspirational video 👍🏻❤️

[@darrylem6157]

SeanD ur a living and breathing masterclass my friend... U make everything as simple as ABC! Not forgetting ur a born comedian! 😂 Thank u for ur lessons 🙏

[@jeffmcdonald7882]

You’re incredible

[@seaoftranquility7228]

That Cminor11. I love it. How I wish there’d been a KZbin 30 years ago when I started playing guitar. I spent a long time trying to work out what that absolutely magic chord was in “Walking on the Moon” but when I bought the sheet music it just said C. It was of course Cmin11.

[@waynedwyer6509]

First thing I thought was what a funny dude, I have stumbled across him before a while back but didn't remember his name.. I had a ball watching this video, I was actually LOL. A down to earth, well-explained method to make a change from the boring chord progressions to more dynamic and expressive ones. More please.

[@seandaniel23]

Thanks for watching!

[@diegooland1261]

Great lesson, but I was thinking sriracha. I love the M7, it just has that pop sound. The m11 is very cool, that's going in the quiver. I'm playing with an arpeggio role on that F at the 8th. Really enjoyable lesson.

[@DanielKepelMusic]

You were super funny in this one!! 😂

[@billlybarrue5953]

Nice Martin.

[@austinsatterfield6792]

This was my approach to guitar pretty much lol. Never liked shows or doing it for a job, just liked it as a hobby and playing with friends and strangers at open mics. I learned how to play lots of chords in multiple positions and octaves. Once I mastered that, I started play the higher chords over my friends cowboy chords and added some fun arpeggiation to Give extra value to the music. I dont have to have the dedication of being part of a band but play a few songs live all the time cause freinds invite me up to be a guess support for a few songs

[@rogerd9150]

Ok...I've been watching your videos for a little while... I just need to finally say that you're maybe the coolest instructor on YT! Man I wish I was your neighbor so I could come over, hang out, and learn things first hand. I've been taking lessons for a year and I'm no where as good as you. Sadly, I'm not sure I ever will be.

[@shashankg3705]

Sean - amazing as always. I am having a very tough time with the A minor. Is there an alternative fingering - maybe with the thumb? - or an easier voicing. Have some issues with reach on my middle finger. Similar issue with the F maj. I have stubby short fingers. Would appreciate any insight

[@foolsgold8486]

You crack me up Bro😂

[@danlee0]

Nice lesson) Mostly I have my in A string in G. Lot of advantages too me.

[@ConditionZero76]

Sounds nice. I definitely wouldn't say snappier sounding as you suggest. If anything, it's far more mellow sounding. 🎸

[@MarkandSandieInMotion]

Just subbed because you're really good. You remind me of Peter McKinnon, another great teacher/influencer on YT.

[@jonlieberman997]

nice video

[@jrokur551]

Spice! Dune!

[@user-ky6vw5up9m]

Nick Mason’s Band is called Saucerful of Secrets

[@agl5245]

How do you learn the notes on the frets easily(ish) as well as the major/minor and other chords that fit together like you describe. I know the open string notes but that’s about it. I enjoy listening to you talk about the theory

[@Kdz12]

Thanks Sean this is great 👍 Question though: does the ability to move these extended chords around the fretboard based on the root only work for these shapes that were covered here (C, G, Am, F)? Hope that question makes sense

[@seandaniel23]

It can work for any chord! I'll try and do a followup lesson on this :)

[@Kdz12]

@@seandaniel23 appreciate it🙌🙌🙌

[@user-jm7uv9ld8p]

Hello Shaun , I love your lessons and have helped me no end . Thanks so much 👍great fun to . Ps if you’ve got Claptons number tell him ready 👍. Thanx again 👍👍

[@mimesisape]

Make some space and fill that space with spice- you better believe it, Rights!

[@seandaniel23]

:)

[@gregbad78]

blow minding video!

[@Mikemeshell63]

Two guitars playing different fingering would be killer sound.

[@braisp]

How do I find this video on the patreon app

[@DanielKepelMusic]

So are suggesting your patreon page?!

[@OfJaggedRisings]

Have you made a Florida versus California video yet? You are living in California now, right? I’d love to hear your thoughts on the difference between the two.

[@jamesadams1064]

I have short fingers so it’s seems I am always hitting the first string when playing chords in that fashion. But, a good lesson overall

[@Amelia-kr7xo]

The high frets are for leaders yes? Or snobs* haha

[@bikeham]

He's basically just riffing here 🙂

[@corycardenas767]

T H A N K Y O U ! 👊🤓

[@kenwatkins4365]

love your entertaining videos! But... chord diagrams on screen sure would be helpful

[@SounduSleep]

The secret sauce is train your ears everyday.

[@matthewg.garcia9415]

FYI if you're trying to learn Jason Mraz "I'm Yours", this is also a video on how to play it lol.

[@huckleberrylarry3186]

Does that martin sound better in the room? Sounds muted and dull in the vid

[@seandaniel23]

I love that Martin!

[@drewdietz2115]

I'm in my man; Ryde, Ryde on; even from California

[@woody4269]

Cool vid. Thanks man. Do guitarists regularly practice to a click? Ha....got t answer. Forgetaboutit! 🤙

[@trusarmor4957]

9:01 'thats a good exercises' chords and notes

[@DG-mv6zw]

A corresponding chord diagram would help viewers tremendously.

[@sleepyhorses6100]

I think D7 closes this prog up better than F and I’m not afraid to say it.

[@user-mc2oc6jw9q]

slight correction: the phrase is "the people's key of e Minor" :-P

[@slowswimmer9169]

I'm a fool 🦉

[@stevehalper510]

Goofy guy but great guitar teacher! 👍

[@Woozy.0]

I've seen few guys go for a fool's solo at open mic night. Despicable.

[@Earthstein]

A guy named Tony Rice played in the fools fool zone.

[@bigsteve1tx]

Great lesson! Sean that move you are doing at 7:15 I want to learn ... but you are going too fast with the in-between notes. Too much coffee bro. There are some base notes in between that sound cool ... but cannot figure out what you are doing.

[@davidmacdonald9612]

I pity the Fool!!

[@steveo_o6707]

I wish I could find an app that makes chords easier, most just throw the whole kitchen sink at you, why not have one that will give you all the chords for a key and alternatives with a tap of a button

[@mp3o]

It might be helpful, particularly for beginners, if you would mention when you are muting some strings with the fingers of the left hand. For example, the A string in the FM7 chord, at first position.

[@planetrock66]

Hes funny

[@noru_ego]

Great video. You look and act kinda drunk, which I enjoyed. Thanks for the lesson

[@cdmusic2]

When I try to play following music theory, everything sounds so boring to me. Like I’ve heard it a thousand times before🤨

[@DaFlameBurns]

because you have, probably your favorite musicians have songs that follow this chord progression and similar popular chord progressions. the best part about learning theory is to learn how your personal favorite songs deviate from “normal” music theory, and implement that into your own playing!

[@dan_kay]

Slap some distortion onto it and you'll hear nothing of that fancy stuff anymore. Everything beyond power chords is called jazz.

[@zengalileo]

Replacing C with a chord that is not C? Wrong from a song writer perspective.

[@aka4146]

I think women are the spice of life and a variety of them is totally spice.

[@oliverschmidt4831]

jazz-ing up your chords isn´t "better" - it´s just advanced versions, wich may or may not fit a song. Bashing simple campfire chords is bad advice for beginner guitar players. So if you´re one, don´t listen to this dude here....and learn AND use those chords!

[@richacello339]

I just came from Mr. Beast. There were 185,000 comments. This is much more manageable.

[@CaveManCole]

Toasty😂

[@snupi_nut]

That guy is a government plant .

[@user-et2fj8xm5l]

No thanks..

[@Astrovic1]

with the "a minor 11" you have the same notes on the E & A string and the same on the D and G string what sounds actually pretty ugly tbh

[@SounduSleep]

It sounds out of context. Save it for the chorus.

[@Playsinvain]

Your topic choices are great, and I’m adjusting to your speech, but you rush through the finger placements and when I google one of these chords…like dmajor9, your way of playing them ….well…it seems made up! lol

[@Chance-ry1hq]

This dude is in the top 3. The top 3 annoying guitar teachers. He had potential to be number 1.

[@funkymonkey529]

So if I ever play a song with a G in it (99% of songs have one..) I'm a fool? As a guitarist of thirty years and the owner of a production company. I can honestly say that the only fool is the one that thinks you're only cool if You play on Only five of your frets. This guy is not intelligent This guy acts like a drug addict

[@JulietsMan]

u are playing different chords. C major and Cm7 are not interchangeable......just like THAN and THEN, WOMAN and WOMEN, are not interchangeable. U are perpetuating dumb downery. DIfferent chords have different applications and purposes.

[@sobeit1927]

The thumb nail for this video suggesting not so advanced players being “fools” is a bit rude and arrogant Sean . Your vids are great though . Maybe you should change this .

[@nxzstudio8495]

Careful snowflake. You just might melt😂. If you are that easily offended you should probably not spend time on KZbin and other social media. 😂😂😂😂
